Editing Help:Reconstructing tournament results (section)

== 11. Work through a complete tournament series ==

Researching several events in one series can be more efficient than investigating each event in isolation.

A useful process is:

# Create a list of all documented events in the season.
# Record the teams confirmed or registered for each event.
# Identify teams appearing in multiple rounds.
# Search each team's social media history across the season.
# Record announcements referring to particular rounds.
# Compare results with reports from opposing teams.
# Search participant, sponsor and photographer accounts for additional evidence.
# Check season standings for inconsistencies or missing records.
# Resolve conflicts before publishing.
# Update the individual event articles and series overview.

Previous attendance should be used to prioritise searches, never to fill gaps in the entry lists without evidence.

=== Check the remaining gaps ===

After researching the known teams, identify which information is still missing.

For example:

* Cup winner verified, runner-up unknown.
* Plate winner verified, remaining placings unknown.
* Nine teams confirmed, complete entry list unavailable.
* Final score reported by one participant.
* Event scheduled, but completion not yet confirmed.
* Championship points published, but placings unclear.

This prevents later researchers from repeating unsuccessful searches and helps identify the most useful new evidence.
